Ecuadorian president defends the invasion of the diplomatic legation: “I don't regret anything” The president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, has assured that he does not regret having ordered the assault on the Mexican embassy in Quito to arrest Jorge Glas. “We had to act and make a decision,” Noboa said, because “there was a plan to escape that we were aware of” Mexico obtained the strong condemnation of Ecuador from the OAS with an overwhelming majority and the almost complete support of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) With the support also of the European Union, the United States and Canada, he took the matter to the International Court of Justice and requested the suspension of the South American country from the United Nations.

But President Noboa has his own way out to resolve the crisis: ‘I invite President Obrador to eat ceviche or maybe some tacos together and be able to talk.’
